Terroir: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, generous fruit and Rhône balance
Domaine de la Janasse is one of the modern benchmarks of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The estate’s classic cuvée is assembled from several lieux-dits across the appellation, combining the depth of old terroirs, the generosity of Grenache, the structure of Syrah and the firmness of Mourvèdre.
The 2015 vintage brings beautiful fruit ripeness, a supple texture and a warm expression, while preserving admirable balance. The wine stands out for its immediate charm, ample and velvety palate, and savoury finish that avoids any sense of excessive heat.
